When the assessment of benefits is completed the board of commissioners shall subscribe such assessment and file it with the chancery clerk of the county wherein the land is situated, where it may be preserved and kept as a public record. Upon the filing of said assessment of benefits, the chancery clerk of such county shall give notice of such filing by publication once each week for three consecutive weeks in some newspaper having general circulation in the county or counties in which the lands of the district are situated. Said notice shall include a day, not less than thirty days from the date of filing the assessment and not more than forty-five days from the date of filing the assessment, at which time property owners may appear and file objections to such assessment. The board of commissioners shall meet on the date set out in such notice, to hear such objections and to make such corrections and adjustments as may be proper in the case, and shall equalize the assessments according to the benefits to be derived from the special improvement herein provided. After having heard the objections and equalized the assessments, the board of commissioners shall enter its order making such assessments final. Any property owner within the district who feels aggrieved by the order making the assessment final shall have the right, within ten days after said order has been entered, to appeal the assessment to the chancery court of the county in which such property is situated. The appeal from the assessment may be heard by the chancellor in term time or in vacation, and after hearing thereof the chancellor shall enter such order as may be proper in the case. Appeals may be taken from the final order of the chancellor within the time and in the manner now provided by law for appeals from any decree of the court.
When the assessment of benefits has been made final and filed as hereinabove provided, the property owner shall have the right to pay such assessment of benefits in full at any time within sixty days after it became final; but if he does not avail himself of this privilege, the assessment of benefits shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum.
